AES: Is it good or bad for drivers?

What is the objective of implementation of Automated Enforcement System (AES) in Malaysia? Is it important? Why I frequently heard about people who felt unsatisfied with this system? Ok, let me share some information about this AES thingy with you guys. 

Firstly, what is AES? AES is a system that recently implemented in Malaysia to catch vehicles/ motorists who speed more than the speed limit and run the red light. The AES will captures pictures and video images of vehicles speeding or jumping a red light in targeted areas and issues summonses accordingly to offenders. Why did the government introduced and installed this system? Did you know, in Malaysia, the average of 18-19 deaths were recorded daily due to road accidents. The most road accidents normally happened during the festive season. So, to tackle this issue, government and other agencies implemented this system to reduce the rate of road accidents and fatalities.

The implementation of AES does not mean that there are no longer accidents and deaths occur on road, but it can help to reduce the number. AES has been proven effective in several countries around the world. For example, in France, it helped reduce road fatalities by 27% within 3 years of implementation and in Kuwait, AES also helped reduce the road accidents by 48%.

Speeding has been proven to be one of the most common causes of fatal accidents in Malaysia. This deadly habit should be changed to ensure the safety of all road users.

So, do you still feel unsatisfied and bothered by this system? There is an easy way to beat it.

SIMPLY OBEY THE TRAFFIC RULES AND MAKE SAFETY A PRIORITY!
